* 'UU' is shown on a Bracelet, I'm fairly certain at this point Leather would affect the 'variant', if this Watch was ever offered on Leather.
We replaced the mainspring, added some spit and polish, fresh strap, Buckle and service.
I'm not sure if it's noticeable but the Glass is tri-pane and follows the peaks on the bezel.
Sure is sweet....

Is the tri-panel crystal the original style? Mine is curved along the long side. I've of the others is bi-panel divided horizontally across the middle. I have to replace mine because it's slightly smaller than the case and won't stay in without adhesive. I'd like to get the right one.
